It was a sunny Saturday afternoon as Abby walked down the street to a local game and book store not to far away from her home. The store had kids, teens, and a few adults looking around at the various merchandise. Some kids walked past some teens who politely moved out of the way and didn't give the kids any glare or insults. The store was a neutral zone that both kids and teens enjoyed and neither one wanted to lose the place, so they put aside any differences they had with each other and they each minded their own business. The peaceful store and the behavior the kids and teens showed made Abby wonder if this would have been the way things worked if the peace treaty between the Kids Next Door and the Teen Ninjas had gone through.

A few months back the Teen Ninjas had proposed a peace treaty with the Kids Next Door saying they were sick of all the fighting and they would leave the Kids Next Door if the Kids Next Door left them alone. It was a major deal. Not only would the Kids Next Door no longer have to worry about the Teen Ninjas as an enemy, they would also have a potential powerful ally against evil adults. It seemed pretty ideal and beneficial to both parties, but at the signing of the treaty the Teen Ninjas sprung a trap with a powerful sound system that blared super loud rock music that left the Kids Next Door crumpling to the ground utterly helpless. The Teen Ninjas would have had a complete and easy victory if Nigel and Chad hadn't arrived on the scene and destroyed the sound system allowing the Kids Next Door to get to their feet and fight back. The peace treaty had been a utter disaster and there were no longer any talks about peace between the Kids Next Door and Teen Ninjas.

Abby was looking at some comic books, when someone walked up to her.

"Sup Abby?"

Abby turned to see Maurice standing next to her. Maurice was a former KND operative and member of the sector Abby had served with. Now he was a member of the Teens Next Door a undercover group that worked with the KND and spied on both the Teen Ninjas and evil adults. Maurice was undercover in the Teen Ninjas and was still a good friend to Abby.

"Doing fine. How are things going for you?" Said Abby.

"Good. Things are really shacking up with the Teen Ninjas and their leadership." Said Maurice.

"What do you mean?" Asked Abby.

"Apparently not every teen was onboard with The Steve's plan to turn on the Kids Next Door at the peace treaty. Several teens were sick of all the fighting and wanted peace. Now a movement is slowly happening within the Teen Ninjas and the organization wants new leadership and to make peace with the Kids Next Door." Said Maurice.

"That's big." Said Abby.

"It is. I'm trying to convince Cree to join the cause. I can tell she's having some conflicting loyalties and she wants to stop fighting." Said Maurice.

"You really think you can change her mind?" Asked Abby.

"I have to try and if Cree stands against The Steve I know we can change the Teen Ninjas's leadership and bring peace between the Kids Next Door and the Teen Ninjas." Said Maurice.

"Well I wish you the best of luck." Said Abby.

"I also think you talking to your sister and try to convince her to turn against The Steve. I know the two of you have had some really rough history, but I know Cree still cares deeply for you. I saw her looking at an old picture of you together after your second mission together in the KND. This fighting needs to stop and I think the two of you coming together could really be the key to peace." Said Maurice.

"I'll...think about it." Said Abby before she turned and left the store.
